born 1947 · American · Horror, Thriller
What sets their writing apart: Study King for character-first horror and voice: ordinary people rendered in close, colloquial narration before the pressure begins. A model for grounding the uncanny in the everyday, and for the craft advice he set down himself in On Writing.
Notable works
- Carrie (1974)
- Danse Macabre (1981)
- Different Seasons (1982)
- On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (2000)
